Today was a short day...

Least convincing ad printed on a truck: "Want to live in Idaho? We have a job for you!"
Number of wrong turns that turned out to be the right turn: 2
Total number of one-way streets I have driven the wrong way on toward another car: now 2
Number of times I tried to check into the wrong hotel: ...1
Number of books on CD for sale at the nearest Wal-Mart in Salt Lake City: 1 (The Book of Mormon...)
Newest scary sign: "11 people have died on 1-80 in 2010."
Number of signs with the exact words "Jesus... the only way to God": 3
Number of tolls I am 99% sure I didn't pay: 1
Number of episodes of "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" listened to: 9
Miles to go: ~762

Some things I've been thinking about:
"Who invented the phrase 'Need a penny, take a penny; have a penny, leave a penny?'"
"Which definition came first--petrified as in petrified wood or petrified as in scared?"
"Why do so many songs rhyme kiss with miss (I'm looking at you Blink-182, Nickelback, Lady Gaga, to name a few)? Kiss rhymes with so many different words."
"Why didn't anyone tell me that Wyoming is so beautiful?"
"Why hasn't anyone invented a portable coffee mug lid with a filter in the spout to keep the mud from getting through?"
"Was 'Supermodel' by RuPaul really a big enough song to play more than once a day on the 90s XM Radio station?"


and for those of you keeping count...
Lottery scratchers purchased: still 6 (Wyoming didn't have any, and I haven't stopped in Utah yet)
Number of winning scratchers: still 0
Net gain/loss: -$6
Location signs that made me laugh out loud: cumulatively 8 (Black Butte Road, which is by far the funniest thing I've ever seen, and then Pilot Butte, Cloud Butte National Monument and Church Butte--but mostly they just reminded me of Black Butte Road. Except Church Butte is pretty funny).
*for the record: I do know what a butte is and how to pronounce the word correctly. doesn't make it not funny.
Tanks of gas: 10.5
Miles driven so far: ~2409
Fast food restaurants visited: 6
